    Upakāro ca yo mitto,
    sukhe dukkhe ca yo sakhā,
    atthakkhāyī ca yo mitto,
    yo ca mittānukampako --
    etepi mitte cattāro iti viññāya paṇḍito
    sakkaccaṃ payirupāseyya
    mātā puttaṃ va orasaṃ.

    The friend who is a helpmate,
    the friend in happiness and woe,
    the friend who gives good counsel,
    the friend who sympathises too --
    these four as friends the wise behold
    and cherish them devotedly
    as does a mother her own child.

    Cakkhumā,
    visamānīva,
    vijjamāne parakkame.
    Paṇḍito jīvalokasmiṃ,
    pāpāni parivajjaye.

    A person with good eyes,
    encountering a treacherous, uneven place,
    would try hard to avoid it.
    A wise person, in the world of life,
    should avoid evil deeds.

    Dadato puññaṃ pavaḍḍhati;
    Saṃyamato veraṃ na cīyati;
    Kusalo ca jahāti pāpakaṃ,
    Rāgadosamohakkhayā sanibbuto.

    Who gives, one's virtues shall increase;
    Who is self-curbed, no hatred bears;
    Who so is skilled in virtue, evil shuns,
    And by the rooting out of lust and hate
    And all delusion, comes to be at peace.
